Objective To investigate the characteristics of department distribution and antibacterial resistance of multidrug‐re‐sistant(MDR) pathogens in hospital ,and take specific measures for the prevention ,treatment and infection cntrol .Methods Data of 1 816 MDR isolates detected in the hospital from January to December in 2014 were analyzed retrospectively .Results Among the 1 816 MDR strains ,extended‐spectrum β lactamases(ESBLs) producing Escherichia coli ranked first(665 strains ,36 .62% ) ,fol‐lowed by methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus(387 strains ,21 .31% ) ,MDR Acinetobacter baumannii(295 strains ,16 .22% ) , MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa(195 strains ,10 .74% ) ,carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae(144 strains ,7 .92% ) ,ESBLs pro‐ducing Klebsiella pneumoniae(130 strains ,7 .16% ) .MDR strains were mainly distributed in general department of urology surgery (384 strains ,21 .14% ) ,burn unit(325 strains ,17 .90% ) ,intensive care unit(ICU )(266 strains ,14 .52% ) and department neurosur‐gery(110 strains ,6 .04% ) .Vancomycin and linezolid resistance were not found in methicillin‐resistant Staphylococcus aureus ;less than 2 .9% of the ESBLs producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumonia strains were resistant to carbapenems .The resistance of carbapenem‐resistant Enterobacteriaceae to amikacin ,sulfamethoxazole‐trimethoprim ,meropenem and tetracycline were relatively low (39 .6% -60 .7% ) .The resistance of MDR Acinetobacter baumannii to levofloxacin ,tetracycline ,sulfamethoxazole‐trime‐thoprim and cefoperazone‐sulbactam were relatively low (48 .9% -76 .5% ) .The resistance of MDR Pseudomonas aeruginosa to amikacin ,ceftazidime ,gentamicin and ciprofloxacin were relatively low(45 .3% -66 .7% ) .Conclusion The MDR pathogens should be monitored in high‐risk department ,preventive measures should be taken ,and antibiotics should be used according to the results of drug susceptibility tests .
